I think that at this size I don’t know. But jobs can admit when he is wrong I am sure. He would have done the smart thing and made what sold the best and I think these phones would have been on the herizon

I don't think Jobs was known for admitting he was ever wrong. On a side note, he claimed that great artists steal. By calling Android a stolen product he was admitting that it's creators were great artists. We all know how he felt about being on the receiving end of his own tactics.
I don't think that iPhone screens over 4.5" would currently exist nor the Apple pencil is he was still around.

While I don't think they'd be quite as big as they are today, I think at least 5 inch displays if Jobs were still alive. One thing is certain - they'd look better. The iWatch quotient exist in its current form, either.

Things change with time and the humans are considered superior than other species because they have ability to adapt to things.
We should not quote what Steve said in 2010.
"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." - IBM president, 1943
"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." - Founder of DEC, 1977
People often have predicted things but time always proved them wrong.

You bring up great points. I remember Microsoft said that no one will buy an iPhone - and then they started producing touchscreen devices themselves.
Porsche were planning to end the 911 line in the 80’s then in the 90’ again, but they keep building them because customer wants the 911 - and customer wants the 911 to be the same as the previous 911 - customer is always right.
And now even Apple changes paths, creates a large device and makes a stylus. And I bet stev jobs would have change of heart too. At the time he never really said that they wouldn’t build big devices, he said that 3.5” screen device was best for one hand use - and he’s still right.
I think t was confusious who said something like “only a fools never changes mind”.

Jobs would have released it too, world is changing all the time and people habits with it.

Nowdays people use their smartphone with two hands because the screen is so big, it's compromise to have that big screen. When i used my 5s i always used it with one hand and it was so effortless to use.

True true. i do think prices would be lower though if he had been alive. Tim Cook cares only about max profit.
Jobs would at least taken a step back and cared less about making shareholders happy.
Jobs was running the company based on a vision.
Cook is running it for the shareholders.

Of course Jobs would be escorting even bigger, more advanced screens. Apple probably would already have a foldable screen. The same guy that said, "1000 songs in your pocket," would definitely have done more if he thought that's what would sell. He'd also have a yacht the size of those mega-cruiseliners too.

Not sure, but I sway towards no. I commented to my brother during the Apple event that Steve Jobs must be turning over in his grave. When he was there Apple was a respected and dear I say innovative company. Now they are just money hungry ( despite being a trillion dollar company). $1000 for 64gb with no options for personalization or a headphone jack? Madness

Next up on phonearena, if Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz were still alive, would Mercedes Benz be making the S-class cars? Come on phonearena, don't jump on the ridiculous if-Steve-Jobs-was-still-alive bandwagon, it's asinine. Steve Jobs had his reasons for picking Tim Cook as his successor, and Cook has parlayed Apple into an incredible powerhouse. Yeah it sucks that none of you phonearena people, nor none of us readers, will ever make the short list to be considered to run Apple, but stop chewing on sour grapes and move on. Jobs is dead, Cook runs the company, end of story.

I don't think he would have stopped it, but I do think he'd keep a compact model in stores at all times. The SE got discontinued, which means that there are now ZERO good smartphones with 4" screen. At that size today, you can only get a piece of Chinese junk to make calls and type messagese with, but even if it has Android in it, it will lag all over the place and completely decompose in two years.

What we need is a savior to make a good compact smartphone. PALM's got the right idea but it's still looking to be a poor execution, what with its huge screen resolution, tiny battery, and no headphone jack.
